It seems that youre possibly confusing beams and ties.  The splitted
half-note is made by CMN while trying to figure out how to do the ties in
this measure.  It sets up a 'beatscheme for various meter-types and
split/ties notes together according to that scheme.

Try to set AUTOMATIC-TIES to NIL:

(cmn (automatic-ties nil) staff treble
   (meter 3 4 (beaming (list .5 2 .5))) c4 e c4 h c4 e )


To see the effect of the beaming-list in your example:

(cmn staff treble
   (meter 3 4 (beaming (list .5 2 .5))) c4 e c4 e c4 e c4 e c4 e c4 e)


Good luck!
